Wenger nearing Baptista decision

Wenger nearing Baptista decision

Arsène Wenger has revealed he will start talks over Julio Baptista's future next week.

The Gunners boss has revealed nothing over what his decision will be for the Brazilian midfielder, but has admitted that a return for José Antonio Reyes is looking unlikely.

"Nothing is decided," said the Frenchman on Friday. "I will meet his agents next week and Real Madrid a bit later.

"I won't tell you now what I will say to his agents, if I do that now I can cancel the meeting!

"I can talk to the player [of course] but whether he stays or goes I need to talk to the agent. If he stays we talk about what price if he goes then we talk about how do we do it."

"Reyes coming back can happen," the manager added. "I have nothing against that but Reyes does not want to come back to English football, he prefers to stay in Spain."

Baptista is a good player. He is highly rated players which I like the most. I hope that he stay for the next season. Baptista is a great goal scorer.
